Campaign Unavailable We're sorry, this alert is no longer available. If you would like to learn more about ways you can take action, please visit Communities in Action Network.The short explanation of this alert was: This summer, the House of Representatives took a historic step by removing the ban on federal funding for needle and syringe exchange programs (SEPs). Public health advocates, law enforcement agencies, mayors and service providers applauded this step to stand up for evidence-based public health practices. But the Senate has not taken any action and the fate of syringe exchange will be decided in conference later this month. Senators need to hear from President Obama that his Administration supports syringe exchange. Now is the time to urge President Obama to fulfill his campaign promise to end the ban on federal funding of syringe exchange.
